[c]“Community Library” project
Introduction:
The community library is a local center of information that makes all
kinds of knowledge and information readily available to its users. It is
established, supported and funded by the community, either through local,
regional or national government or through some other form of community
organizations.
In Bangladesh, there are government & non-government
public libraries. All the existing functional libraries are situated within the
urban areas, but most people live in villages. Therefore, in rural areas, very
few educational institutions own a library with a well-trained librarian and
sufficient reading materials. So, students, common people and the indigenous
professional (e.g., Farmers, weavers, carpenters, traders etc.) they don’t have
other credible choices to know the whole universe and the happenings of the concurrent world.
Their knowledge gets restricted to the school boundary, local TV and
newspapers. More over the children are more inclined towards watching videos or
playing games on gadgets than picking up a book to read. Government &
non-government organizations takes various initiative to develop the rural
community libraries time to time but not sufficient yet to be reached to the
rural out reach people of Bangladesh.
It is worth to say that the “Bishwa Sahitya
Kendra” founded by the legendary Bangladeshi educator, writer, television
presenter and activist, professor Abdullah Abu Sayeed is our inspiration who
established the afore mentioned non-profit organization that promotes the study
of literature, reading habits and progressive ideas.
Sarkar, also known as 'Alor Ferry-Wala', tried to educate people of his locality lending books to promote habit of reading. He continued the job for thirty years making people of at least twenty villages enlightened with education. People used to call him a book-lover while some called him a bookworm, and children called him Boi-Dadu. Rajshahi Zila Parishad established a library on Palan's yard recognizing his contribution to his community in 2007.

[d]“Rural
Community Museum” project:
INTRODUCTION:
A community museum is a institution
serving as an exhibition and gathering space for specific identity groups or
geographic areas. The “Rural community museum” focuses on cultural
ecology, arts, rural heritage, and education for sustainability.
The Museum authority will organize a yearly
festival for the community people. It preserves a large collection of tools and
objects related to food growing and life in rural villages, as well as an
important archive of local vegetation, birds, aquatic plants, fish, insects in
the form of cadaver or photography, oral history, and documents about natural
health, food and celebration in rural life. The collection also includes
artistic works, such as mural paintings and sculptures, related to agriculture,
traditional professions and trades, lifestyle and culture in rural areas. The
main theme of the project is to preserve the representative items of the
local ecological diversity for the future generation.
The other activity of the rural
community museum is to conduct the awareness program for plastic pollution,
water resources management, green energy, sustainable transport, and
traditional jobs and trades, forest management.
The establishment of a Water Museum by ActionAid Bangladesh evolved in the backdrop of re-imagining rivers from a human and ecological point of view. Museums around the world exhibit a unique repository of the different forms of humanity’s connection with water and its natural and cultural heritage. They display and explain the function of ancestral techniques, legacies, and traditional knowledge to promote the world’s outstanding variety of water-related heritages and values that have been passed down through generations.
Established in 2008 by Jahangir Alam Shah, an assistant teacher at Rajshahi Government Collegiate School, the museum has come into being on his private initiative in his ancestral home. The agricultural museum at Kaligram village at Mandar in the district of Naogaon represents a noble purpose, exhibiting various ancient agricultural tools used by the erstwhile farming communities as well as imparting knowledge to their posterity.
